Where Did Your Blood Flow

about

In 2019, the grandchildren of Jansje Punt recognised their grandma from a painting by Charley Toorop that was printed in the newspaper. Until then it was unknown who the working-class woman in the 1943 painting was. They told the Stedelijk Museum Jansje had been Toorop’s housekeeper. During the Second World War, her three sons were put to work in Nazi Germany. Probably the reason she is looking so worried, standing in a bombed-out street in Rotterdam.

lyrics

The city skies have turned to black
So many thoughts, you’re losing track
The landscape’s dark
It’s welcoming no-one

The clothes you wear are almost dry
Dissolving in the swarthy sky
Already gone
You’re waiting for no-one

Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low

Abandoned streets and broken stones
In Rotterdam, the neighbours moan
And all the while
You’re waiting for no-one

Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low

I knew your name, you were my aid
It took some time to contemplate
But then I named you working class woman

Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low

Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low
